Currently sitting in fifth place after four games, Gusau remains optimistic that, despite the early struggles, the Super Eagles will ultimately secure their spot in the tournament.
“I have much confidence we will qualify for the next World Cup in 2026,” Gusau said while outlining his achievements as NFF president. “I know we have a very bad start, having just three points from four matches. But if you look at the momentum now there is a level of progress.
“Everybody know what is at stake and we are surely going to do our best to support the team. We have just started our qualifiers for the next Nations Cup in Morocco 2025 and by the grace of God that would be our breakthrough to winning our fourth AFCON title.
“We have started to see that we get a coach for the Super Falcons but before that because we are planning to see how we can utilize the FIFA window we are going to have in October to see how we can engage the team. We want to see how we start grooming some of our young girls from the league and inject them into the Super Falcons.
“The current coach that is in the interim is going to invite some of our local players and have a camp with them and later during the FIFA window some of the foreign players will be invited.

“For the Super Eagles coach, it is a process. Along the line we started a process we almost concluded, we reached an agreement but later on once you have middle men and most of these coaches have agents. You seat down and have agreement and just for you to wake up and they will bring up something that was not part of the agreement which is practically impossible.
“We cannot seat down and engage our country in something that we cannot answer so that is basically what is going on and we are almost done about it and we are doing our best to ensure that by the time we come up with a coach he would be someone that would take us to the next level.”
